From that standpoint a BEV would be perfect for me since my commute to work is only 50 miles round trip, but there's nowhere for me to charge when I get here and that range wouldn't be enough for my annual trip to Glen Arbor.

I had heard that rumor about a month ago. As time goes on it sounds like it might not be true.
This is true. 2021 F-150 launches late spring/early summer next year. Job 1 for Bronco is December 2020.
I was talking to someone about this last week. We suspected that Ford will make it their centerpiece for the new and "improved" summer NAIAS.
Also, a Bronco Pickup has been discussed but at this point it has not been approved yet.

I once put 400lbs worth of topsoil bags in the trunk of my Focus. I desperately need a truck for some of the landscaping/construction projects I've been wanting to do for a few years now.
Side note, those jump seats the ranger used to have were terrible. Looking back on it that was borderline child endangerment riding back there 😂
